2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the trouble!, September 2, 2005

By	Ray "Red Devil" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

I bought the unit because it was suppose to be adjustable to the size you wanted to water. You can adjust the three outside holes to squirt or not in order to narrow the watering area. You can adjust the amount of water pressure to shorten the distance and, you can adjust the amount of oscillation to control the range of the watering. The problem is, these things only work as long as the unit oscillates. If you cut down on the water flow it stops oscillating. Of course, it always waits until you get back inside the house before it stops so when you look and it's not oscillating, you don't know how long it has been stopped. On occasion, it even stops oscillating with a full flow of water so you really have to keep an eye on it. Not worth the trouble.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk., May 27, 2007

By	David R. Krueger (Huntsville, AL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ray "Red Devil" hit the nail right on the head. This sprinkler stalls all the time, but for me it didn't matter what I set the flow rate at. It quits oscillating at full throttle and my water pressure is not low. I have two and they behave the same.

I like the concept. It's wonderfully easy to adjust compared to the traditional oscillating sprinklers, but this product is engineered badly. One has to wonder if they ever do any design verification testing on their products. They certainly couldn't have done much on this piece of junk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Oscillator not, August 24, 2006

By	OC&Stiggs - See all my reviews

The features of this sprinkler were very attractive for an oddly shaped yard area like mine. Unfortunately I've just returned my second one because the oscillation stops and the sprinkler locks in one position. At first I thought it might be related to particular positional settings or volume of water, but it happened at a number of different orientations and volumes.
